BMW owners: I own a 2017 440i, today I drove from NYC to Charlotte, after 400 miles AC was not effective at all. Any possible reasons you all are aware of? I will call the service help on Monday!

Ever been to Europe? They don’t know how to make an AC
Kidding aside try refilling the refrigerant and see how long it holds or get a pro to look into it

The part about Europe not understanding AC is true. Nothing is ever cold there, just slightly chilled at best

You don’t buy a bmw for long road trips. Get an American car for road trips that way if it breaks down in the boonies you can get it fixed

Leak.

You may have a leak and lost most of your freon. No big deal, call them to make an apointment, they will check if you have a puncture, fix that and fill back with freon. Happened to me once in the past as well.

Looks like an AC gas leak or it was time for a service.

No time for service.. gas leak looks like the reason. Thanks folks!

One thing to check before you buy the recharge kit: if your car has dual zone AC, check the AC on the passenger side. Sometimes the actuator valves that control one side or the other gets stuck. If both sides are blowing hot, it is probably refrigerant. 

What’s its place of birth? You are close enough to Spartanburg. Consider returning it to where she came from?

I mean birth as in factory. Lot of BMWs are made in Spartanburg (hour or so from Charlotte)

Check your coolant level. If it’s low it will reduce your AC.

If your coolant is low the cold air coming in the car will get warm from the engine. It will only cool back to normal once you are at highway speeds. I’ve had it happen to me.

What will the approx cost of it? Mine maintenance warranty just expired. Is it possible they might not have taken care of it properly during my free service

They don’t top off refrigerant and no other “fluid” has anything to do with AC. Also, don’t go to Jiffy Lube.

I have a 2018 4 series and had a similar issue on a recent road trip. Fan was blowing but I couldnt get any air in the cabin. Issue fixed itself after turning off the car and turning back on like 20 mins later. Might have been software related similar to a1.

Get it fixed from a local mechanic for cheap, much less than an authorized dealer. Technically you can fill in Freon yourself, but won’t be able to seal the leak.

A decent mechanic will add a dye and pressurize to find a leak. Pressure check is easy, software less likely but possible. You want the dye check to make sure you don't have multiple leaks.

Software issue it seems.. turned on my car this morning, was working fine.. thanks folks 👍🏻

Hey Fishies, I'm wondering if anyone could make a recommendation- I'm looking for software that does the following:
